Andrea

Joanne and I were at colleagues at HSS for 10 years. Joanne is a consummate HR professional. She is smart, thoughtful, an excellent communicator and a joy to work with. Of the many accomplishments that Joanne helped us to achieve, the most critical was leading the recruitment efforts for the many Epic certified professionals that had to be identified and hired when we began to implement this mission critical system at HSS. From the strategic to the tactical, Joanne’s HR skills are just excellent.

Jamie M. Nelson

In transitioning my career from being self employed to corporate, I called on M.Tripp to help me translate my skills to language that made sense to potential employers. Joanne went above that – in a short Q & A she was able to hone in on my specific abilities that made me stand out. I landed the job!

I highly recommend anyone needing help understanding their value to reach out! Thank you Joanne!

Douglas Struyk

My relationship with Joanne Parnofiello began in 1996 on a professional level.

As the Human Resource Director she was responsible for hiring me as the Executive Director of Holy Name Hospital Home Care & Hospice. At that time Joanne conducted an in depth interview and took the time to enlighten me about the philosophy of the hospital and goals for these departments. She was instrumental in coordinating meetings with mid-level and senior management to further evaluate my credentials and provide me with insight into the hospital’s administrative structure. Upon hiring, Joanne arranged my structured orientation and followed up on a regular basis with my progress as a new administrator in this organization.

Joanne displayed a genuine interest in finding the right fit for the position, supporting the new hire, and mentoring me through the process.

I was extremely impressed by her commitment and dedication as well as her ability to provide valuable and constructive assistance.

Throughout my years there we worked very closely to evaluate, interview and hire new nurses and ancillary staff for my departments. Joanne excels in her ability to screen and vet applicants all while maintaining a caring and compassionate professional demeanor and patience with all those she encounters. She is extremely bright, energetic and organized. These attributes of her personality are consistently reflected in her day to day work. Through my subsequent professional career, Joanne has been a guiding influence in seeking other professional positions as well as a personal coach and friend. She is always well respected by her peers for her mastery and comprehensive knowledge.

It is my pleasure to offer this testimonial for Joanne.

When I graduated college, I entered a competitive job market. Joanne helped me create a strong resume, along with a compelling cover letter. She also strengthened my interview skills and made me feel more confident. Joanne’s vast knowledge and years of experience helped me obtain the career I always hoped for.

Tara Benevento

Joanne’s ability to blend professionalism and compassion are unparalleled. When I was being interviewed by her for an entry level management position at a major academic medical center, she ended the interview by getting up and walking me to the next person’s office, which was across the street. I have never been treated with such respect and made to feel so special in an interview process and it was one of the main reasons that I took the position. In the years the followed, I continued to be promoted, ultimately obtaining a senior management position where Joanne was responsible for the recruitment of hundreds of individuals in my departments. While she only allow the highest caliber of candidate to be sent through, with laser precision, I watched her treat every candidate the same way she treated me. Joanne is a wonderful person and an asset to any person seeking HR related services.

She led her team and clients with her extensive knowledge and expertise in Human Resources, along with a genuine heart and intent to help others along the way.
